How to grow lime, guaranteed success

 Availability of seeds is the first step in the cultivation of lime plants. Lime plant nurseries can be done in various ways such as grafting, grafting, grafting / shoot grafting or what is called vegetative seeding. However, this vegetative propagation is carried out if the parent plant is available. However, if the parent plant is not available, it does not mean that it cannot be used for seedlings. The solution is to do nursery using seeds or what is called generative nursery. The seeds of lime plants resulting from planting these seeds by cultivators are usually not planted directly, because they have several disadvantages including a long fruiting time and often the nature of the plant deviates from the nature of the parent plant. However, the seeds from these seeds are only used as rootstocks in grafting techniques or grafting / sticking buds using buds from superior plants to improve their quality, so that they can produce superior seeds that bear fruit faster. To find out how to grow lime from the seeds, please refer to the following explanation.

* PREPARATION OF SEEDS

 Lime seeds to be planted are taken from fruit that can be purchased at the market and so on. Choose lime that is really old because it has seeds with higher growth power. Remove the seeds from the fruit by cutting them and taking the seeds carefully so they don't get chopped. Wash the seeds clean, drain and dry in the sun to dry.

 * PLANTING SEEDS 

Before planting, prepare the planting media first. The planting medium used is soil, compost and husk charcoal with a ratio of 1: 1: 1, stir and mix until evenly distributed. Enter the planting medium into a poly bag or similar container, provided that the container has small holes at the bottom to drain the remaining water so that it does not stagnate in it. Flush the planting medium in a poly bag until evenly wet. Sprinkle the seeds on the media in a poly bag evenly but don't be too tight, cover with the same thin media. Place it in the shade that is not exposed to rain, but still gets the morning sun. After 14 days of planting, the seeds have started to germinate, and after 1.5-2 months since planting, the seedlings have grown well and have few leaves. Seedlings with good growth can be transplanted into polybags by planting 1 seed in each polybag for optimal growth. Whereas seeds with slow or poor growth, leave them first until they are ready to move plants. Lime seeds resulting from planting seeds can be used for rootstock on shoot grafts or grafting after the seedling stems are as big as a pencil. Thus a review of How to Grow Lime from the Seeds, I hope this article can add insight and be useful for you.
